A small gray room with a plank floor and tape marks on the walls contains a huge amount of information related to the internal and external physical influences this place carries.

Seventy-eight tape marks on the walls have different patterns, shapes. The artist analyzes physical parameters of each trace with the same algorithm to convert them – the tape, the color of the wall, the balance of glue, and grayness – into data.

As a result, the system for studying and combining these datasets has been created.
